Actually, the recommendations were for both the temporary and the permanent sides. When Mr. Leckey mentioned that it would take 20 days, he was referring to the time it takes for the file to get from CBSA to the visa officers. But sometimes the file is first directed to CSIS. If CSIS finds something out about an individual and they need to do further work, there could be delays. It could take, one, two, or three years before it moves to CBSA. Remember, those delays usually occur when no adversarial information is found. As soon as we need to do further work, it's a lot longer.
